Home-Start Surrey has a new banner and a new Volunteer Recruitment Officer!
My name is Gemma Whitehouse and I have been volunteering for Home-Start Waverley since December 2019. I have 2 (now) teenage boys and I already had a part-time job but I still had time in my week especially when they started Senior School. A teacher mentioned to me that I should look at Home-Start and straight away I knew it was something I wanted to get involved in.
I completed the 8-9 week preparation course which was fascinating and really helped me grow as a person (and parent!) The listening skills it taught me were invaluable!
I was matched with a local family and it was an absolute pleasure to be able to help them when they really needed it! I got so much out of it, it was never a chore and the support I got from Home-Start was second to none.
When I saw that a part-time position as Surrey Recruitment Officer came along I thought wow this really is my dream job! I’m so passionate about the Charity, of course I would love to spread the word!
Our aim is to increase and diversify our pool of volunteers in Surrey so that every single family with young children who needs that extra help, for whatever reason, can get it.
Please help us achieve this by sharing our posts and spreading the word!! #BecauseChildhoodCantWait #HomeStartVolunteers #VolunteersWeek #HomeStartVolunteerFestival #HeartofHomeStart
